Wreford attended Sandringham College and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, subsequently working in the fields of photography and healthcare. She was elected to Casey City Council in 2003. In 2009 she studied financial services and began a business as a finance broker. She was elected Mayor of Casey in 2010.[3]

Wreford was defeated by Labor candidate Tim Richardson at the 2014 Victorian Election.[4]

After her defeat, Wreford worked for Melbourne developer John Woodman. In 2019 Wreford appeared before the Victorian IBAC and admitted that as part of her work for Mr Woodman, she 'personally deliver[ed] tens of thousands of dollars of cash stuffed into envelopes to a City of Casey councillor and conceded the payments were bribes to get favourable planning decisions.'
